The thought of Julius Peppers lining up opposite Trent Cole has had Eagles fans salivating since the team’s season ended in early January.

Apparently the same can be said for the Eagles’ front office.

Comcast SportsNet is reporting that the Eagles have made an offer to the offseason’s top prize. Jordan Raanan of CSNphilly.com wrote “According to Peppers’ agent Carl Carey, the Eagles have made an offer to Peppers and have “strong interest” in the five-time Pro Bowl defensive end.

Though no details were given on the amount of money or years, this confirms that the team’s interest in upgrading the pass rush is legit.

Reports are that peppers is in Chicago today for a meeting with Bears executives. The Bears are without a first and second round pick in this year’s draft and are desperate to upgrade their team through free agency.

If Peppers intends to sign with Chicago it will likely happen today. If he gets on a plane without signing a deal that is very good news for an Eagles team which that can offer him a much better chance to play for a winner.

Keep your fingures crossed Philly.
